Annex III of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 lists Important products in two classes. Annex IV lists Critical products. If you classify wrong, you either pay for a Notified Body you do not need or you self-assess a product that legally requires third-party evaluation under Article 32. CRACheck auto-classifies and generates all 8 documents for €149.

The Cyber Resilience Act divides products with digital elements into four categories: Default, Important Class I, Important Class II, and Critical. The classification is not discretionary — it follows the product lists in Annex III (Part I for Class I, Part II for Class II) and Annex IV. Default products use Module A (internal control). Important Class I can use Module A only with harmonised standards. Important Class II and Critical require Notified Body involvement. CRACheck runs your product through both annexes, determines the category, and generates the 8 compliance documents in 15–25 minutes at €149.

Key figures

4 categories

Art. 32
Conformity assessment procedures: Module A, Module B+C, Module H — determined by your product's classification

How CRACheck classifies your product

1
Enter your product details
Describe the product type, its function, connectivity, intended use, and the environment it operates in.
2
CRACheck scans Annex III & IV
The classifier cross-references your product against Part I (Class I) and Part II (Class II) of Annex III, plus Annex IV (Critical). If the product does not match any listed category, it defaults to the Default category.
3
Receive your classification
CRACheck outputs: the category, the specific Annex III or IV entry matched, and the resulting conformity assessment module under Art. 32 + Annex VIII.
4
Generate the full documentation
Based on your classification, CRACheck generates the 8-document package including the Technical Documentation per Art. 31 + Annex VII, tailored to your conformity assessment path.
5
Review and download
8 PDFs in a ZIP file. If your product is Important Class II or Critical, CRACheck flags the Notified Body requirement and documents the information the Notified Body will need from your file.

Common mistakes

ANNEX III, PART I

"My product is a sensor, so it's Default."

Annex III, Part I includes smart home products with security functionalities, industrial IoT devices, and products intended for use by children. A sensor connected to a network, collecting data in a home or industrial environment, may fall under Class I depending on its function and intended use.

ART. 32

"Class I and Class II only differ in severity — the compliance process is the same."

Class I products can self-assess under Module A if they apply harmonised standards covering all essential requirements. Class II products cannot — they require Module B+C (EU-type examination + production control) or Module H (full quality assurance) involving a Notified Body. The cost and timeline differ by an order of magnitude.

ART. 7 + ART. 8

"We just pick the category that seems closest."

Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 empower the European Commission to adopt delegated acts amending Annex III and IV. The categories are legally defined, not approximate. A misclassification discovered by a market surveillance authority triggers corrective measures and potential fines under Art. 64.

● LAYER 1 — DOCUMENTATION · CRACHECK

Classification + documentation layer

CRACheck classifies your product against Annex III and Annex IV, determines the conformity assessment module under Art. 32, and generates 8 structured documents aligned to your category.

∅ LAYER 2 — NOT INCLUDED

What CRACheck does not do

CRACheck does not issue binding classification opinions. It does not act as a Notified Body. It does not perform Module B, Module C, or Module H assessments. For Important Class II or Critical products, the Notified Body makes the final determination on conformity.

CRACheck gives you the classification analysis and the documentation foundation. The Notified Body — if required — evaluates against that foundation.

What CRACheck guarantees and what it does not

CRACheck generates a structured document package according to Article 31 and Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 based on the information you enter. The classification output is determined by your declared product specifications. The accuracy of those declarations is your responsibility as the manufacturer.

We guarantee that the classification logic follows Annex III and Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 and that the conformity assessment module references follow Art. 32 + Annex VIII. We do not guarantee that a market surveillance authority or Notified Body will agree with a specific classification in a specific case.

CRACheck is not legal advice. For borderline classification cases, consult a specialised regulatory consultancy or contact your national market surveillance authority.

Frequently asked questions

What if my product falls between two Annex III categories?
Annex III categories are defined by function and intended use. If your product matches multiple categories, the higher classification applies — Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 follows a precautionary approach. CRACheck flags dual-match scenarios and applies the stricter classification.
What is the difference between Annex III and Annex IV?
Annex III lists Important products in two classes (Part I: Class I, Part II: Class II). Annex IV lists Critical products. Critical products require the strictest conformity assessment (Module H or equivalent). CRACheck checks your product against both annexes.
Can the classification change after the product is on the market?
Yes. Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 empower the European Commission to adopt delegated acts modifying the Annex III and Annex IV lists. If your product category is reclassified, you must update your conformity assessment. CRACheck allows regeneration during the licence window.
What conformity assessment modules exist under Annex VIII?
Module A: internal control (self-assessment). Module B: EU-type examination by a Notified Body. Module C: conformity to EU type. Module H: full quality assurance with Notified Body involvement. Default products use Module A. Class I uses Module A with harmonised standards, or Module B+C without them. Class II and Critical require Module B+C or H.
Is this a subscription?
No. One-time payment. The licence includes 30 days of editing and 10 regenerations. The downloaded PDF is yours permanently.
Can I request a refund?
Under Art. 16(m) of Directive (EU) 2011/83, activating the licence constitutes express consent for immediate generation of digital content, waiving the 14-day withdrawal right. Refunds are only processed for reproducible technical failures.
What if the regulation changes?
If Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 is amended during your licence window, you can regenerate the documentation using the updated version of the generator at no additional cost.
